Quote ="Mr Churchill"Union is full of problems. Once Union globally decides to drop to 13 a side and abolish line-outs I can see a re-unification of rugby under a single code and the rules can evolve from there.
Within 5 years of re-unification, the England team would be made up largely of players from Yorkshire / Lancashire and England would win the World Cup.'"
Can you imagine the monumental logistics of basically what is tantamount creation of a new sport?.if I recall werent the 'northern' teams consistently the strongest before the great schism?so yes you would think the Lancs/Yorks players would be the bedrock but it would depend solely on which players adapt to the rules fastest,too many permetations.
